Thank you to everyone who helped build the caretaker’s house at Camp Tawakoni. It was a huge success and our caretaker family enjoys it. The old house has been torn down and the ground smoothed out. It’s simpler to find the Administration Building now, where the South Central Regional office is located.

With this behind us, the new shower house and fence at the pool is next. We want to finish it before the 2019 camping season, with volunteer efforts! Camp Tawakoni Mission Week is planned for April 7 – 13. Food and lodging will be provided.

We have jobs for several different crews for the week:

1. Finish the shower building – the floor and walls constructed by our contractor.

2. Build the new fence around the pool.

3. Build 6 beds – materials provided

4. Do electrical work.

5. Do plumbing.

6. General maintenance, to prepare for the summer camp season.

What a great way to be the hands and feet of Jesus, by giving to the camp without an outlay of funds from you. For more information, Contact Vern Failor, 785-231-3960, or Topeka Regional office, 785-266-2914.

Christmas and eggnog may be on your mind, but now’s the time to think about protecting your church against damage from snow, ice, and freezing temperatures.

Knowing what to do and when can help you avoid losses. Disciples Church Extension Fund (DCEF) helps congregations plan and finance Holy Places to be used for ministry, so they know our way around churches. Here’s a snippet from their winter maintenance guide:

Pipes:

Know where and how to shut off the main water valve.

Use insulation on water pipes that are exposed to freezing temperatures, cold drafts, and unheated or non-insulated areas.
